A sermon describing Jesus's crucifixion in graphic detail: thorns in his skull, severe whipping, nails through hands and feet. The speaker argues Jesus rose three days later and that his death paid the penalty for human sin, making a relationship with him possible now.
I'm sure you've heard of the name Jesus, and I'm sure you've heard of the cross, but do you really know what Jesus went through? He didn't just jump in front of a bullet or get injected with poison and instantly die. He died a brutal, horrific, and extremely painful death. To start, he had thorns about 3 inches long shoved into his skull. He was tied to this wooden beam to where he couldn't fall to the ground, and these leather belts with broken glass and bone along with sticky blood were whipped across his back until he was near death. Then he was made to carry a 3 He had a nail driven into each of his hands and a nail driven into his feet. He hung naked on the cross until his final breath. But the story doesn't end there. 3 days later, he moved that stone and he defeated death. You see, Jesus is alive today, and everything he went through was so we could be in a relationship with him. He died the death that we deserve. And he rose again.
